Talkback: Controlling slugs and snails with copper
bean poles, and I'm growing lettuce and other salad crops in troughs, with copper tape round the outside. Having said that, I'm now trying nematodes, and suddenly all the slugs appear to have disappeared! Not the snails though, as they don't live by glenysbright

Slugs and snails
, that's what they told me, so I bought the lovely dark red one - 2 days later gone! But then we have so many slugs and snails, that they have to eat what they can get. Slugs and Snails had been happily chomping there way through my runner bean plants by Lorraine Sharp

Suggestions for a bit of privacy...
.  But the garden feels really exposed because it's elevated, so we definitely want to add some privacy to make it more useful to us. What about some fence posts with rigid square trellis between, then you can grow anything from runner beans to honeysuckle by threecliffs

What you haveeaten today?
beans, purple sprouting broccoli, carrots, spring greens and roast spuds. Pudding lemon syrup tart with rhubarb sauce. Trouble is, I think I'll be too knackered to eat it! Today has been lamb sandwiches, but am going to polish off rest of lemon syrup by ThaiGer
